Abstract
Description
- This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application Ser. No. CN201911272500.X filed on 11 Dec. 2019.
- The present invention belongs to the field of welding in material processing engineering, and more particularly, relates to a self-shielded flux-cored welding wire with special protective slag coating formed in situ and manufacture method thereof.
- Since the birth of welding technology, welding slag plays an important role in welding metallurgy, but the welding slag has always been treated as an inevitable by-product, and deslagging is required after welding, so that a lot of labor hours are consumed, and waste slag discharge also causes serious pollution to the environment. A deslagging property is one of the key process property indexes in development of a self-shielded flux-cored welding wire, and difficult deslagging of bonded slag restricts a welding process property.
- On one hand, the deslagging after welding is a necessary procedure for welding. On the other hand, secondary coating is further required to make a welded joint meet special property requirements such as weather resistance, corrosion resistance and the like after welding, which greatly wastes the labor hours, increases energy consumption and wastes resources. For example, when welding repair is performed on a ship or other water structures using traditional welding materials, not only a deslagging procedure is required after welding, but also a seawater corrosion-resistant coating needs to be coated on the welded joint after welding, which is very unfavorable for fast on-site operation.
- Up to now, human beings still use the slag as a waste slag that must be removed. There have been no reports regarding that the slag is used as a beneficial coating capable of realizing surface modification, and there have been no reports regarding that one-step preparation and molding of a double-layer functional metal structure is performed by the welding technology.
- Objective of the invention: in order to solve the technical problem in the prior art, the present invention provides a self-shielded flux-cored welding wire with a special protective slag coating formed in situ and capable of preventing seawater corrosion, and a manufacture method thereof.
- Technical solution: in order to achieve the above technical objective, the present invention provides a flux core powder, wherein the flux core powder includes the following ingredients in percentage by mass: 60-80% glass powder, 2-8% zirconium oxide powder, 0.05-0.85% graphene powder, 2-8% potassium carbonate sodium powder, 1-3% potassium titanate powder, 2-5% rutile powder, 1-5% corundum powder, 1-3% sodium fluorosilicate powder, and the balance of iron powder.
- The glass powder includes 57.2% SiO2, 22.8% B2O3, 5.7% Na2O, 9.2% CaO, 3.2% ZrO2 and 1.9% Al2O3.
- The rutile powder includes no less than 98% TiO2 and the balance of impurity elements Fe, Nb, Ta, Cr and Sn, and the corundum powder includes no less than 99% Al2O3 and the balance of impurity elements Cr, Ti, Fe and V.

- The fusion welding method includes but is not limited to one of an arc fusion welding method or a laser fusion welding method.
- The present invention further provides a self-shielded flux-cored welding wire with a special protective slag coating formed in situ, wherein the self-shielded flux-cored welding wire includes a low-carbon steel belt and the flux core powder, the flux core powder is filled in the low-carbon steel belt, and a weight of the flux core powder accounts for 13-25% of a total weight of the welding wire.
- Preferably, the low-carbon steel belt is a low-carbon steel belt H08A, which specifically includes 0.1% C, 0.3-0.55% Mn, 0.3% Si, no more than 0.03% S, and no more than 0.03% P.

- Preferably, a thickness×a width of the low-carbon steel belt is any one of 0.9 mm×14 mm or 0.8 mm×12 mm.
- Preferably, a diameter of the welding wire is any one of 1.0 mm, 1.2 mm or 1.6 mm.
- The contents of the present invention further include a manufacture method of the self-shielded flux-cored welding wire with the special protective slag coating formed in situ, which includes the following steps of:
- (1) rolling the low-carbon steel belt in a U shape by a molding roller, and then adding the flux core powder into a U-shape groove through a powder delivery device according to 13-25% of the total weight of the welding wire; and
- (2) closing an opening of the U-shape groove to cover the flux core powder in the U-shape groove, drawing and reducing the diameter through a wire-drawing die one by one, and finally making the diameter thereof reach 1.0 mm, 1.2 mm or 1.6 mm to obtain a final product.
- The main functions of all the ingredients in the above flux core are as follows.
- Glass powder: the glass powder vitrifies the slag, plays a role of slag protection during welding, and forms a vitrified slag coating capable of effectively preventing rust, pollution and oxidation. When a content of the glass powder is less than 60%, a glass property of the coating is weakened, a coverage rate is reduced, an integrity of the glass coating is damaged, and a seawater corrosion resistance is deteriorated; and when the content of the glass powder is more than 80%, the vitrified slag coating is thickened, and has a weaker bonding strength with the welded joint, thus being easy to fall off.
- Zirconium oxide powder: the zirconium oxide powder adjusts a property of the vitrified slag coating, and enhances a hardness of the slag and an acid and alkali corrosion resistance.
- Graphene powder: graphene has a surface with an extremely large specific surface area, and has excellent heat and electrical conducting properties, and on one hand, deoxygenation occurs during chemical metallurgy and generates an ideal gas generation protection effect, and on the other hand, a physical behavior of an arc can also be greatly improved, and a stability of the arc is improved.
- Potassium carbonate sodium powder: CO2 gas is decomposed during welding, with the gas generation protection effect; and in addition, K and Na elements have an arc stabilizing effect. A decomposition product (K, Na)2O is used as a part of the vitrified slag coating to improve a toughness of the vitrified slag coating.
- Potassium titanate powder: K has the arc stabilizing effect, TiO2 and KO are decomposed as a part of the vitrified slag coating during welding to adjust physical and chemical properties of the vitrified slag coating and improve a corrosion resistance of the vitrified slag coating.
- Rutile powder: the rutile powder improves a fluidity of the slag, and adjusts a melting point and a coverage of the slag coating.
- Corundum powder: the corundum powder improves a chemical stability, a hardness and a corrosion resistance of the vitrified slag coating.
- Sodium fluorosilicate powder: the sodium fluorosilicate powder enhances a fluidity of the slag coating and improves surface formation of the slag coating, thus enhancing a seawater corrosion resistance. Moreover, the sodium fluorosilicate powder can effectively reduce a content of H of the welded joint.
- Iron powder: Fe is transferred to deposited metal, and a small amount of iron oxide increases an adhesion property of the coating to the weld bead.
- It can be seen from the above technical solutions and the brief description of the functions of all the ingredients in the flux core that the glass powder is mainly added in the flux core according to the present invention to vitrify the slag, the glass powder plays the role of slag protection during welding, and forms the vitrified slag coating capable of effectively preventing rust, pollution and oxidation. The zirconium oxide powder, the rutile powder and the corundum power are simultaneously added to improve the fluidity of the slag, adjust the melting point and the coverage of the slag coating, adjust the melting point and the physical and chemical properties of the vitrified slag coating, and enhance the hardness of the slag and the acid and alkali corrosion resistance. When the graphene powder is added, on one hand, the deoxygenation occurs during chemical metallurgy and generates the ideal gas generation protection effect, and on the other hand, the physical behavior of the arc can also be greatly improved, and the stability of the arc is improved. In addition, addition of the potassium carbonate sodium powder, the potassium titanate powder, the sodium fluorosilicate powder and other mineral ingredients containing K or Na plays roles of gas generation, arc stabilization, adjustment of composition of the vitrified slag coating and improvement of the property thereof, and can effectively reduce the content of H of the welded joint. The iron powder is oxidized to form Fe2O3, which is embedded into metal of the welded joint with corundum Al2O3 as spinel to enhance a bonding force between the vitrified slag coating and the metal of the welded joint. The glass powder, the zirconium oxide powder, the graphene powder, the potassium carbonate sodium powder, the potassium titanate powder, the rutile powder, the corundum powder, the sodium fluorosilicate powder, the iron powder and other ingredients above act jointly, on one hand, the slag is formed to isolate air, the gas generation effect is generated by carbonate, and the deoxygenation and the gas generation effect are enhanced by the graphene with a great chemical activity, so as to improve a self-shielded effect; and on the other hand, the formed vitrified slag coating is evenly covered on the surface of the weld bead, and has a metallurgical bonding effect with the weld bead, thus having a seawater corrosion resistance effect.

The wire was drawn and a diameter thereof was reduced one by one through wire-drawing dies with diameters of 4.2 mm, 3.8 mm, 3.5 mm, 3.2 mm, 2.8 mm, 2.55 mm, 2.4 mm, 2.2 mm, 2 mm, 1.8 mm, 1.6 mm, 1.45 mm, 1.4 mm, 1.3 mm and 1.2 mm respectively to finally obtain a final product with a diameter of 1.2 mm. A welding current was 260 A to 300 A, a welding voltage was 24 V to 30 V, and a welding speed was 0.4 m/min. Please refer to Table 1 for results of seawater corrosion resistance test of surface-vitrified slag coating after fusion welding and results of combination test between slag coating and welded joint.
- A self-shielded flux-cored welding wire with a special protective slag coating formed in situ included a low-carbon steel belt and a flux core, and the flux core was filled in the low-carbon steel belt. The steel belt H08A included ingredients of 0.1% C, 0.3-0.55% Mn, 0.3% Si, no more than 0.03% S, and no more than 0.03% P. The flux core was prepared according to the following masses: 88 g of glass powder, 2 g of zirconium oxide powder, 0.3 g of graphene powder, 3 g of sodium potassium carbonate powder, 1 g of potassium titanate powder, 2 g of rutile powder, 1 g of corundum powder, 1 g of sodium fluorosilicate powder, and 1.7 g of iron powder. A weight of a flux core powder accounted for 20% of a total weight of the welding wire. All the powders were sifted through a 150-mesh sieve. All the powders were put into a powder mixer and mixed for 30 minutes, and then the mixed powders were added in a U-shape H08A carbon steel belt groove of 0.8 mm×12 mm. An opening of the U-shape groove was closed to cover the flux core power in the U-shape groove. The wire was drawn and a diameter thereof was reduced one by one through wire-drawing dies with diameters of 4.2 mm, 3.8 mm, 3.5 mm, 3.2 mm, 2.8 mm, 2.55 mm, 2.4 mm, 2.2 mm, 2 mm, 1.8 mm, 1.6 mm, 1.45 mm, 1.4 mm, 1.3 mm, 1.2 mm, 1.1 mm and 1.0 mm respectively to obtain a final product with a diameter of 1.0 mm. A welding current was 260 A to 300 A, a welding voltage was 24 V to 30 V, and a welding speed was 0.4 m/min. Please refer to Table 1 for results of seawater corrosion resistance test of surface-vitrified slag coating after fusion welding and results of combination test between slag coating and welded joint.
- Natural seawater was used as a test medium of the seawater corrosion resistance test, wherein a seawater conductivity was 4×10−2S/cm and pH=8. A test temperature was adjusted by an open constant-temperature control tank, and a content of Cl− was adjusted by adding distilled water and a NaCl solution into the seawater. A 3-electrode system was used in an electrochemical test, a saturated calomel electrode (SCE) was used as a reference electrode, a platinum niobium wire was used as an auxiliary electrode, a vitrified slag coating sample to be tested was used as a working electrode, and a surface area was 1 cm2. An IM6 electrochemical workstation was used as a test system. A frequency range of AC impedance spectrum measurement was 100 kHz to 0.01 Hz, and an amplitude of an AC excitation signal was 10 mV. A corrosion current density was used for characterizing a seawater corrosion resistance. The smaller the corrosion current density was, the better the corrosion resistance was. The test results of the embodiments showed that the vitrified slag coating generated by welding had an excellent seawater corrosion resistance.
- A method for measuring a coverage rate of the slag was carried out by performing plate welding on a test plate of 200 mm×80 mm×20 mm, molding the welded joint by one step with a length of about 150 mm, performing air cooling on the welded joint after welding, photographing a surface of a weld bead for computer image software analysis, and evaluating a coverage rate of the slag coating by a ratio of the coverage area of the slag coating to a total area of the surface of the welded joint.
- An evaluation method of a deslagging property was used as a reference for the combination between the slag coating and the welded joint. With reference to the provisions on the deslagging property in the national welding rod evaluation proportion in 1989, a deslagging property test was performed on a self-made falling ball tester, a weight of a steel ball in the test was 3 kg, and a height from the steel ball to a welding test plate was 500 mm. The test plate was placed on the falling ball tester, and the weld bead was hit from a back of the test plate at a right position. A complete deslagging length, a slight slag bonding length and a severe slag bonding length were carefully measured and recorded after the falling ball test. The higher the slag bonding was, the higher the bonding strength between the slag coating and the welded joint was. A slag bonding rate was a ratio of a non-deslagging length to a total length of the weld bead. The higher the slag bonding rate was, the better the bonding between the slag coating and the welded joint was.
